Instructions
Step 1
Warm up the oven to 160 degrees. Grease a large form with oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
Sift flour into a large container. Add powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Chop the chilled butter with a knife and grind it into crumbs with flour. Collect in a hill, make a well in the middle and add the yolks and 4-6 tablespoons of water. Roll the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Step 3
Distribute the dough in shape, prick with a fork so that it does not swell when baking, and bake until golden brown. Leave to cool.
Step 4
While the base is preparing, pour the milk over the poppy seeds and set aside for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
For the filling, you need softened butter: remove it from the refrigerator in advance and let it warm to room temperature. Then it should be whipped with sugar into an airy mass. Then add the zest, eggs, vanilla, poppy seeds and mix thoroughly again.
Step 6
Put the filling in the mold and send to the oven for 25 minutes. Then let cool slightly.
Step 7
Prepare the glaze by simply mixing all the ingredients until smooth. Cover the top while the baking is still warm, chill completely and cut into portions.
